He's gonna be lusting after grandpa's car now!

I don't know which one is grinning the most.....

 

Once Gene get's to make a run, it sure would be nice if his Grandson could make a few laps and maybe do some of those Gasser races with Gene as his Crew Chief. That way Gene could have some involvement and not put any unneeded stress on him and also might be great therapy.

 

Sorry I didn't mention, it would also help to bring some young blood into the Sport.

 

Well that brought a smile to his face!
What an experience that must have been.

Lucky lad!

 

I don't think anybody knows for sure who will occupy the Moonlighter's drivers seat when it makes full bore runs in the future. If it is an alternate driver, that person will have the best possible Moonlighter teacher ... Gene himself. I suspect Melvin will be in the pit crew for sure.

Gene wanted me to post these pictures for him. " When the Willys was finished and first raced in 1965 and restored in 2013."

The front end is lower than it was we just ran out of time. Gene is working on that now it will be up next time y'all see it.

 

It may be fixed already, I haven't been to Gene's this week. He took the springs to be re-arced late last week. I'm going by there tomorrow and will let you know.

 

Awesome!! reminds me when I went for my first ride in a drag car, Ive been hooked ever since.

 

Very Cool, He's definitely hooked now

 

I went by Gene's today and the springs are back in place.

 

Cool, should have that old gasser look now.
Is the stance about like the old pic above?

--- Steve ---

 

I don,t post usually but man that was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. That young fellas grin and the cool interaction between them, priceless.

 

The front end was off and it was hard to tell, but it is closer to the original stance.

 

Exactly my thoughts Shedrat.

If I hadn't know different, I would have thought it was probably a father/son experience.

No matter what generation you're from, all it takes is one blast in a mean V8 powered stick shift car and you're hooked. I've been hooked since 1971. No doubt Geoffrey is too.

 

When I saw Geoffry sit in the Moonlighter at Greer it looked a lot like a picture of Gene in his scrapbook taken back in the day. Future driver? Just saying

 

Here's the dry hop from the old video that I promised a few weeks back it's quick you will have to replay it several times it's cool.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ7C5PGiv4A

Cooooooool

 

Thanks hot rod I still can't get that imbed thing to work right

 

Quain, you may have created a monster. I posted something on Gene's facebook page and saw Geoffry's post telling Gene about you giving him a ride. Here it is, I had to post it here.
"Hey Gene so Quain took me for a ride in the Executioner... You gotta do better than that, I mean we are FAMILY and all............."

 

Like the little guy on laugh in said ---- "Interesting .... veeery Interesting"

 

To anyone that got a blank cd from me please let me know and i will send you a replacement of the moonlighter some of the cd got mixed up.
thanks Gene.

 

Guess who got a blank CD?

Not very good for watching but makes a for a interesting click in the DVD player!

I'll bring it by you house and we will try it again! HRP

 

Now, ya'll guys that have the CD's, have us guys that don't wondering what's on them ... lol
Patience ... Patience I know

Thanks Gene... Will do.. I also miss the daily updates of the build. Maybe you should recreate the mustang. NO its not hamb friendly but I'm sure people would be interested. Also know the work involved one is enough .... Ed

 

Went by Gene's yesterday and he was in the shop working on a few odds & ends,,He had been having a injector problem but that is corrected now.

I would like to report what is on the video but my dumb luck I got my replacement CD yesterday and it too is blank. HRP
